Imagine a life of nobility ? affluence ? power and all other good things of life and you happen to loose them all in a day.

Abdulfatallah was a small kingdom in the outskirts of Iran,ruled by King Usman Nassir along with his wife Queen Khadijah and their children Prince Atheer,Princess Aishat and Princess Halimat,even though Abdulfatallah was a small kingdom, its indigenes were prosperous and happy.

Today is so wonderful in the lives of the people,it is the day,Princess Aishat was to be married to Prince Khalil,days before the wedding Princess Halimat never left her big sis,they went to different places together like the mall and spa,engaged women go there to purify themselves for their husbands,their mother the queen had ordered the best henna stylist accompanied with beautiful clothes and Jewelries for them,Prince Atheer also assisted in the wedding preparations since he was soon to be king who's coronation was two years away,so he was the crown prince,married to Princess Karyan.

WEDDING RECEPTION

The wedding hall was decorated beautifully and the guests looked so elegant,the bride and groom sat beside each other looking so radiant with the Imam in front of them holding the Holy Quran.

"Prince Khalil,do you accept Princess Aishat as your wife,you accept to love,honour and cherish her ?" the Imam asked.

"I accept."

"Princess Aishat do you accept Prince Khalil as your husband,you promise to love,respect and honour him ?"

"I......

Just as the princess was about to reply a loud gunshot was heard,startling everyone,the bride held onto her groom in fear,the men of Abdulfatallah decided to look at what caused the commotion,only to find the bodies of dead guards on the floor,then some bandits came and attacked the men,women and children were rushed to a safe house,but the gunshots could still be heard,making women panic and children cry,a loud bang was heard as the door was forcefully opened by the bandits,they dragged mother and children forcefully mother's who tried to struggle were brutally murdered.

The bandits dragged them out and dead bodies laid on the floor as people cried to meet their dead loved ones,but the most shocking sight were the dead bodies of the king and prince.

"Father,Atheer,"Halimat and Aishat yelled as they ran to meet their bodies,they cried and the queen walked slowly to meet them with tears in her eyes,she squatted beside them as they held each other crying,the bandits pulled them forcefully but Halimat became to stubborn.

"Leave me ! "She yelled as she pulled herself away from their grip and was slapped hard across the face causing the princess who'd never been hit to faint.

"Halimat !" The queen yelled and collapsed.

Halimat's POV

I slowly opened my eyes due to the faint voices I heard, and the feeling of someone touching my face.

"Let go of me!" I yelled feeling repulsed of his scale like touch,he chuckled and touched me again making me spit on him,and in a flash I felt something hard hit my face,I cried since it stung badly,another bandit came and slapped the one who hit me.

"You idiot why will you hit her ? don't you know if there's any mark on her we could make little or no sales ! he yelled,she'll earn us a lot of fortune,since she's a princess and a virrrrgin," he said with a dark chuckle and tears streamed my face.

I was sold to some merchants passing by and they tied my hands as we were heading to God knows where,after the tiring ride on the horse,we arrived in a new kingdom,in front of a palace,the palace was so big,even bigger than mine,they dragged me in and I kept yelling,let me go,let me go.I stood in front of some people who looked like royalty,but I cared less,the merchants bowed while I stood still.

"Bow!" one of the merchants yelled and tried pulling me but I kept struggling.

"Let me go,do you know who I am? I am Halimat Nassir,daughter of king Usman Nassir,so I order you to let me go !"

"So what if you're the daughter of a king ? all those died today,you're a slave and a slave you'll be till death, a noble said and tears brimmed my eyes,this is the Shia of Iran's palace,so your title still means nothing."

Dear Allah,the king of all Iran,I'm doomed,I cried harder.

"Take her away." the man whom I assumed to be the king said and his guards obeyed.

Murad's POV

Let me go,I heard a feminine voice yell and turned to see a beautiful girl with black hair and eyes,she was dressed like royalty and her hair was rough,filled with sand like she spent time playing there,I kept admiring her looks and perfect curves,well even if she's stubborn as I could notice,she should put it aside since no one is as stubborn as I am.

Halimat's Pov

I looked at the room I was kept and couldn't stop crying,even the servants toilet in Abdulfatallah is way bigger than this,I can't believe this, I lost my family in one day,what happened to mother and sister Aishat ? I thought as I kept crying.

The door opened and girl walked in slowly,she looked beautiful I must say,she was dressed in a hijab and maid like clothes,she held something in her hands and dropped it in front of me.

"Here I brought you some food."

"I'm not hungry," I snapped

"But you have to eat,y...

"I said I'm not hungry." I tried my best not to yell even after her being nice to me,please just go."

"I'm sorry princess."

"Princess?" I scoffed,don't call me that.

Writer's POV

Next day

Halimat was taken to the kitchen as a kitchen maid,she noticed a familiar person walking to her with a smile,she recognized her as the maid from yesterday.

"Hi Halimat."

"Uhm,hi."

"C'mon lemme show you around the kitchen,by the way I'm Zainab,"she said and led her to another section where they met an elderly woman with her back to them.

"Salaam Alaikum."

"Alaikum Salaam child",the woman replied to Zainab as she(Zainab) touched her feet.

"Salaam Alaikum",Halimat greeted and was about to touch her feet but was stopped.

"Dont dear,what do you think you're doing ? you're a princess."

"Here I'm no princess and besides you are older to me,so you deserve all respect," Halimat replied and she blushed.

"Bless you my child,by the way I'm Hamida the head maid and I'll be teaching you all you need to know,so if you have any questions ask me."

"Yes ma'am."

"C'mon Halimat,let's get you ready," Zainab said and Halimat followed.

Halimat's POV

I can't believe this,I was finally compelled to do things myself,I had my bath and dressed in the maids attire Zainab gave me.

"Wow ! dressed like a maid but still looks like a princess," Zainab complimented,causing me to roll my eyes,c'mon let's eat.

"I'm not hungry," I replied plainly.

"Halimat come on."

"How do you expect me to eat in this state ?" I lost everything dear to me !" I yelled.

"Halimat,she called softly and I averted my gaze,from her expression I could tell she felt sorry for me but I don't want her pity,no matter how hard I tried to act like a strong person tears just rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably,Zainab hugged me tightly and the tears rolled more this time.

"Halimat,I know what you're going through,but believe me, not eating,crying wont help you get back all you lost," she was right,I shouldn't cry,I should try hard to overcome all this,I hugged her tightly and felt at ease,I felt like I was hugging Aishat once again,"do you feel better ?" she asked and I dried my tears nodding as I forced a smile, "OK let's eat then."

Zainab taught me how to sweep,wash dishes and do other chores,soon after all that she told me to throw the dirt away as she wanted me to familiarize with the palace,while walking I noticed the guards staring at me and I got uneasy,I tried covering my face with my hijab but it was of no use,I hurriedly walked away and bumped into something,more like someone.

"I'm sorry",I said and looked at the person....oh my God ! isn't he the....,he's the prince,"I'm so sorry your highness,I didn't mean to,I apologized cleaning his sherwani,he kept staring at me causing goosebumps to appear on my skin.

"You're sorry",he said and I felt his hands on my waist,I didn't think of anything as I got angry and slapped him with anger filled eyes,he forcefully held my hand and pulled me close to him,"do you know I can get you punished slave hmm,he said with an evil smirk on his face and left,I felt scared hearing his words,I walked into the kitchen and my mouth watered as aroma of food filled my nostrils.

"Zainab,Sekinat,Halimat, you three should go serve the royalties,Hamida instructed.
